Forrest Gump always gets me at various scenes. The part that hits me the most is when he's standing over Jenny's grave and says "I miss you, Jenny...". I cry everytime. It just deeply saddens me for two reasons:
1. If Jenny only listened to him when he proclaimed his love for her, instead of brushing it off and believing that he couldn't possibly understand what love is, he could have possibly changed her and had many more years alongside her. Rather than having such a short amount of time to spend with the one woman he truly loved.
2. After being such an all around good individual and always thinking of others, he is ultimately denied the one thing that mattered most to him: spending his life with Jenny.
No matter how many times I watch it, this scene, along with a few others, hit me as powerfully as they did the first time I watched it.

This. That film gets me.
And Gladiator. Well, it did when i saw it all the way to the end that once. Will get there again eventually.
